Every 6 months or so I come back to watch this animal smash the tubs for inspiration.

[@iambrowntown2]

Here’s a reminder to come back and watch him absolutely kill this performance

[@jadonchacon4914]

This is the most satisfying kit I’ve ever heard

[@TheTwoThumbs]

No contest.

[@shawnfearrington3189]

Cleanest drumming video I’ve seen in a very long time. This is just straight up badass. Thank you for this great content!

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thank you sir!! ❤️

[@cliffaubut5241]

this is my fav vid on the internet lmao

[@aphishal100]

God damn the mark on the snare head is the size of a quarter lmao. Insanely accurate

[@dr0ppazeti68]

is that mark from wear??? thats crazy if so - looks like a target sticker or somthin

[@ShoutAtMeElmo]

@@dr0ppazeti68 to be fair, he does hit that thing like a frickin woodchopper

[@kalmah24]

Damn. I'm so jealous. This kit sounds amazing And matt is an amazing drummer

[@TheHIOJK]

I honestly don't think I've heard better tuned drums..absolutely gorgeous

[@matt.guglielmo]

thank you!!

[@pnkdrmmr]

I hadn't checked out The Acacia Strain in a while, but I now have two of these tracks on my songs to learn drum playlist. That's the level of live drum crisp playing we should all aspire to.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thanks that means a lot!!

[@ccamp1001]

So unbelievably underrated. From tuning to note placement to overall style of drumming. Well done my friend.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thank you!!

[@drakausdromgatti58]

You have no idea how much I have been practicing the past 7months every single day... you have no idea how much of an inspiration you are man.

[@thetoddfather9455]

Whenever I want to get hyped up the play the drums I watch this video. Such tasty grooves and mix and execution and such a great band see live

[@AsAugustSleeps]

One of the few people that can do Kevin justice.

[@StevenxWebb]

Matt.... You're a fucking beast dude. I was bummed Kevin wasn't playing this tour, but they picked the right guy to fill his shoes. So groovy.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thank you dude ❤️

[@ChrisYates69]

Look at the size of the dot on the snare head 😮 thats accurate af! 👏

[@jasonforrester5099]

Still coming back in 2024 to just get absolutely pummeled by Matt’s kit

[@Babyboobearful]

i dont know how many times ive watched this but i swear ive never heard these songs sound so perfect, absolutely so perfect and clean!!

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thanks so much!! ❤️🙏

[@Babyboobearful]

I'm watching again dude it's making me want to play again

[@Nickuva4life]

Find myself coming back to this video every few months 🤣

[@xceasetoexistx218]

Not gonna lie, this is one of the sickest drum cams I've ever seen. keep it up man!

[@nicholasnelson5885]

Totally true man. The tightness and fucking anger is litterally driving me to want to fucking wreck

[@jonathanwyatt7510]

Glad to see you fully drum for the strain🤘🏼

[@wtchdctr_music]

I've shown this vid to so many friends under the guise of just, "the best drumming vid on youtube". Without fail every response is, "this is so sick and sounds incredible". A youtube classic for sure. keep up the great work, man

[@eddiegdrums1646]

My God you've got chops man. I don't know how more people aren't talking about you?

[@bultronlagore2095]

People do know about him but alongside him are MANY MANY other badass drummers that are doing some inhuman 💩 on those skins. If you don’t know who I’m talking about then just listen to the drummers in: Origin Archspire Beneath The Massacre Spawn of Possession Rings of Saturn Signs of the Swarm FleshGod Apocalypse Brain Drill Cryptopsy Cephalic Carnage Gorguts Lorna Shore Etc Etc Etc....

[@eddiegdrums1646]

Bultron La Gore thanks for the tip man!!

[@dmndxdave]

damb dogg, this has so much flavor. been listening to these songs for a decade and they sound so fresh here.

[@ElectronLord]

Congrats on teaming up with TAS, can't wait to see you play with them. Hella looking forward to it.

[@SteveGVocals]

Gets better and better every time I watch it

[@ElTigreGaming]

My fav drummer for this genre. So fucking good.

[@aviator394]

When you just wake up at 3 in morning to take a piss and stumble upon this bad ass video

[@phillmcknight5477]

Just want to say I got to see you with Strain in Philly a few weeks ago. Such a great show. You are spot on sir.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thank you so much!! 💜

[@k.bowers8372]

The perfect sound to my ears. How satisfying!

[@woodopolis6339]

Never saw this until now but saw u at the Philly show and dear god did u blow my mind

[@bultronlagore2095]

That snare sounds soooooooooo damn good. Tom And Floor Tom also sound great.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thanks!!

[@benparkes5939]

I had no idea Jordan from etid played drums as well !!!!! Great video 🙌👌👏😉

[@juancardona3886]

I still come back to this video after years. Shit is fucking SICK.

[@nickgliemann]

Same

[@Bandzrcool]

Dude that's so tight! Seeing The Acacia Strain playing Continent fully was the best concert ever! Im so jealous that you get to rock out these songs all the time.

[@stickyvenom73]

Not a single boring moment in this entire video. Even with how long it is

[@Xueqs]

This is the best video on KZbin atm

[@joedel-grande1915]

bro, this video is a religious experience. You’re the most satisfying drummer to watch and listen to

[@JamesFranchiseMusic]

Y’all can have all his drum tuning and snare sounds, just give me that stacked china cymbal in the middle. Oooooof that’s perfect man! Sounds so good! Perfect tone in my opinion!

[@WAstateofmind]

Bruv, post more of these. The sound from this set is amazeballs.

[@puputputceh]

pure gold...

[@choprodgers3884]

the twist you put on these drum patterns for the song is crazy SHRED !

[@Babyboobearful]

Dude I cant get over how perfect it sounds bro

[@Babyboobearful]

that was the cleanest drum cam ive ever seen

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thanks!! 🤗

[@lastditch727]

Man you've had stints with many of my favorite bands and I never even knew. You're such a bad azz drummer.

[@scotturban54]

These are my favorite acacia strain songs.

[@dustinroddyful]

Can’t wait to see you Thursday man!!!

[@ColossusBall]

That fucking stack sounds amazing

[@simonecioppa4817]

What a sound! Great performance too!

[@VSdrummer010]

A. Fucking kit sounds incredible B. Fucking playing is incredible 3. Fucking footage is incredible NOICE

[@Skarekrow570]

Absolute fucking beast power, accuracy, and groove! That kit sounds amazing!

[@pcbw75]

[@juusoleino6631]

[@xMyNameisJames88]

That China with the broken cymbal on top sounds amazing!!

[@Chris-or2xk]

[@jonathanwyatt7510]

Dude. You’re a beast! Still watching this video daily🤘🏼

[@spud696]

top performance! grew up on listening to Kevin's chops since the days of TDW...you definitely did him justice, and then some \m/

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thanks man!

[@ZachyStugotz]

Damn that kit sounds good. Performance is fucking spot on.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thanks!! C:

[@michaelkim5630]

Perfect tune. Awesome mix.

[@mattbeauchamp5180]

Audio quality is fucking insane. Cymbals are crystal clear, snare is poppin', kick and toms are perfect. Sad I had to miss the Lawrence date because it looked like this tour had some amazing energy. You're killing it!

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

Phenomenal performance

[@choprodgers3884]

I gotta leave another comment lol I watch this vid all the time. These combine drums are crazy love all the added snares 🤘

[@patrickalbani4056]

Another stellar performance of skill and professionalism. Soon to become a drumming great.

[@xenophagia]

Very nicely done. The drum mix sounds great too.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thank you 🙂

[@swampmanbfe]

Fuck yeah, brother. Mad respect. The Vegas show was killer. \m/

[@Annalynnband]

sick !!! Cheer from Thailand

[@carlorampazzo666]

Amazing performance, amazing sounds

[@stephenmckimmie7495]

That whole thing was satisfying as hell to watch and to hear. You are a fantastic phenomenal, drummer man .your style is one of a kind man. I never even heard of you guys till now to be honest with you I just randomly clicked on this for whatever reason. Hell yeah keep on rocking man

[@kennethsantana7881]

You got the dead walk bass drum sound kickin'

[@stickybuds05]

Everything i wanna say's been said about the masterful playing, filming and drum sounds - I just wanna mention how sick those cymbals complement the drums, drummer and band. I've never heard dark old K's used in metal, they suit the snare and 'almost dead' toms so well

[@bigdawgygo464]

stickybugs05 the drummer he’s filling in for also uses k’s

[@Ladal_one]

So perfect ! 🔥

[@NuclearBrownieDrums]

Love the hertas on the kick awesome man!

[@fatkidfrontflip]

Such solid playing. This is incredible!

[@pex6688]

Thx for this amazing drum cam video bro.

[@paskajuzzy]

That stack tells stories!!!!

[@spenceredwinrobson]

So satisfying to watch.

[@CrookedTooth616]

This is my second time watching this. Your style brings a different perspective to the drums written/recorded for the album. It makes me appreciate what was recorded originally, and more importantly, makes me appreciate your skill set. Truly, you have made songs that I am beyond familiar with sound brand new. Hopefully, that makes sense. Peace and respect. ✌🏻✊🏻🙏🏻

[@matt.guglielmo]

It means the world to me that you say that! I really appreciate that. Thanks so much!!

[@CrookedTooth616]

Absolutely. Would like to see more videos from that tour, if they are available and you’re willing to post them.

[@nicholasnelson5885]

Bruh i need a stayed puft cover lol 😂 i need that ending breakdown on this

[@edselnatividad9236]

Recorded nicely! That bass is badass! Everything in it actually badass!

[@Roofdaddynick]

had the pleasure of playing Heavy Montreal with TAS back in 2013 when my band was touring. Wish I could have seen this live every night, completely in the pocket man🔥

[@fiolipe]

Woooooow. Amazing tunes.

[@thecat4434]

Killer! bighugs from Venezuela

[@ChordxClient]

That spongy kick sound 🤤🤤 solid playing

[@TheTwoThumbs]

The precision is chilling.

[@davidchoi33]

Damn. This is so clean that it's making my smooth, dolphin-like body feel dirty.

[@TShandDrums]

Great drumming and video!!

[@YanDizzleseguBrah]

Saw you play with Acacia Strain in Calgary Alberta. Unreal set. Soooooooooo tight. Super solid.

[@mattwatson1744]

Love that stack!

[@Toxcys]

Oh my God those drums sound so fucking good

[@NateSmith87]

Those fuckin chops on that punchy ass kit is so beautiful to hear.

[@APimpNamedBeau]

Fuck the drums sound awesome! It's nice they connected the audio to whatever video they're recording with.

[@LivingLegend237]

3:15 that drum fill tho. Smooth and clean.

[@ericgifford7115]

The combine is such a groovy song. Bro this dude is fucking good, Kevin shall be proud

[@orangeboiiiii]

damnnn wasnt expecting that of a great bell sound.. sick vid!!

[@НикитаКостылев-ь8к]

6:52 I am the end of the world

[@PastaWaffleGaming]

Best drum play video during a concert I've ever seen or heard. The isolation of the drums from the rest of the action is amazing and can hear every little stick drag on the cymbals. Great job sir.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thank you!!

[@valvaliantthor666]

Buddys work with Spite is also god level monster shit. I also like 1:06 where buddy just screams "fuck!"

[@JohnLehrfeld-rc5vd]

Greetings guys from Pittsburgh Pa USA

[@TheSeveredTongues]

amazing, dude

[@howies5265]

Holy compression Batman I bet the sound out front thru the mains was outlandishly brutal Bravo Cheers 🛒

[@michaeloltmann6828]

I saw u guys in Columbus Ohio.u did an awesome job.

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thanks!!

[@loopiou316]

Yooooooo this might be the tightest/best tuned kit i’ve heard in a long time. You sir have your live shit down. Im a new fan!

[@matt.guglielmo]

Thanks so much!

[@joeyglover3429]

Guy laughing every time at 3:16. So fucking clean

[@themaseofspades6857]

Not that you needed to hear it again but holy fuck that is a slammin drum cam. Amazing capability.
